That is an incredibly callous response to the situation they described. Their partner didn’t decide to be a financial drain. It could happen to you too. All it takes is one bad day and you’re in severe medical debt.

TaterTurnipTulip ,

Sorry about your partner’s health. I know it’s unlikely, but hopefully things can get a bit better for y’all.

You are placing a lot of unwarranted faith in remaining healthy into retirement and your savings being enough for whatever situation we face them.

My dad decided to save up and wait until retirement to do some travel he wanted to do. A couple years later he has a major health issue and is unable to travel like he wanted to.

I don’t begrudge anyone enjoying themselves with the time they have while they are young and healthy.

TaterTurnipTulip ,

Sure, it’s all about choices. You’ve made your own. Hopefully you’re able to enjoy your retirement. But if those choices don’t work out, hopefully you’re not bitter and blaming others.

That is hilarious. “I got an MBA from Harvard but totally believe I can get a 500-1000% return on my investment”

Helping generate less carbon at some point in the future does not help with the fact that we are racking up the carbon bill now. What these companies are doing is entirely unnecessary, gimmicky, and will lead to even worse climate change outcomes. Between AI, crypto, and the O&G companies we just keep pressing the gas even harder on serious, irreversible climate change.

I hope this AI push fails spectacularly at some point, but the damage is already being done.

I’m not about to say people can’t have kids, but they should really do their best to truly understand the future that awaits those kids. That temperature line is going to keep going up (except in certain areas when the AMOC collapses). Things will be worse and no one is coming to save us. Deciding to bring a new life into that future is a serious ethical and moral choice.

Isaac Asimov was wrong. The only real law for robots/AI will be to not jeopardize the company’s profits.

TaterTurnipTulip ,

Sure, and I’m not calling it the end times. But things will continue to get worse as carbon accumulates and causes temperatures to rise.

Having a child has and always will be a moral and ethical choice (for those who have a choice) and it should not be taken lightly. But there are different stakes now than before. And we still haven’t gotten rid of the looming shadow of nuclear annihilation, we’ve only added to the ways we can destroy ourselves.

Caitlyn Jenner is a shitty person, but it’s still wrong to purposely misgender her.

What is a pension? /s

But also, no. No one should be forced to endure this world just to keep pensions going.

This sure seems like a step towards a personhood bill. Which is exactly what Republicans want

TaterTurnipTulip ,

It’s because they listen to Alex Jones. Everything they said is an InfoWars talking point.

TaterTurnipTulip ,

Thanks for regurgitating InfoWars talking points. Alex Jones would be proud.

It always strikes me as interesting that if the Bible truly was divinely inspired that there really should only be one translation and one interpretation. It should be incredibly clear and concise to everyone.

Dan Olson and Cody Johnston are absolute treasures

I wish there was a way to harness their hate and direct it against their god-king, Trump. Get them to destroy their entire movement and fracture into a million, feckless pieces.

TaterTurnipTulip ,

I wouldn’t be so sure about humanity surviving. It all depends on how many tipping points we hit and how bad warming actually gets. There’s no way we stop at 3°. Existence for any humans will be incredibly fraught.

Oh, you mean the people who quoted Hitler? - apnews.com/…/moms-for-liberty-adolf-hitler-newsle…

Yeah, they’re real model citizens.

The ones holding up the process aren’t really siding with Democrats, they’re just against theit own party’s nominees for various reasons. It’s an important distinction.

It may not be your intention, but this comment feels like it’s blaming Democrats for not going along when Republicans have the majority and keep failing to put someone up that they can all agree on. Several Republicans have been pushing the narrative that Democrats are to blame for their own party’s disfunction.

It gets even better when you realize the US hasn’t actually formally declared war since WWII. We don’t do “war” anymore. But we still kill a helluva lot of people. Mostly civilians.

Wyoming ranch accused of abusing children, unsanitary conditions will now operate without inspections (www.nbcnews.com)

A Wyoming ranch accused of abusing children and forcing them to perform manual labor lost its license earlier this year after state officials documented a litany of safety and sanitary violations. But the ranch found a way to stay open and will no longer need a license to care for children, a development that has alarmed youth...

Since they moved the kids across state lines at one point, doesn’t that mean the FBI could get involved? Sounds like trafficking to me

Sure, but DeSantis won a statewide election, unaffected by gerrymandering. So even though FL’s congress has more extreme people because of that, they’re not the only ones who enacted this law. They didn’t have to elect a fascist as a state, but they did.

Saying that, I do feel bad for the Floridians who didn’t vote for him and get fucked over because of this. But anyone who voted for DeSantis deserves whatever they get from his cruel actions.

Joe Biden’s DOJ Is Claiming “There Is No Constitutional Right to a Stable Climate” (jacobin.com)

In the same week large swaths of the US were under extreme heat warnings, Joe Biden’s Justice Department filed its most recent motion to dismiss a landmark climate case by arguing that nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to a secure climate.

Are you really going to use the line that we can accomplish much as individual contributors? While everyone can change habits to make very minor differences, the real issues like with governments and large corporations.

They are also often in favor of the death penalty for certain crimes. These people are not internally consistent at all. And honestly, with the amount of issues in the Bible, you have to be very comfortable with a lack of consistency to be that religious anyway. Not that most of them are actually really reading the Bible. Seems like most just ingest whatever their preacher decides to tell them.

This is why there is so much focus now on stripping rights from trans and other LGBTQ+ people. They needed some other rallying cry around “saving the children.” And it also helps create a group of others for their fascistic instincts.

Pence deserves every bit of this that he gets. He propped up the bile and hatred when it supported him gaining power. Now that he faces the ire and wrath of those same people I can only feel schadenfreude.

TaterTurnipTulip ,

Lots of people seem happy to vote against their own self interests. They fail to imagine a future where they may want to use the same mechanism to help themselves. Honestly, I’ve just accepted that a large portion of people are incredibly stupid, easily manipulated, and lack any sort of understanding of how their actions may impact their own future.

Hopefully they dont win this special election. Good luck to those voting No!
